Maison Mataha Evasion Bonbon Extrait

Description

Évasion Bonbon is a candy-shop extrait: strawberry sweets, marshmallow and caramel melting into vanilla musk. Released in 2024 by Maison Mataha, the Paris house founded in 2020 by a couple of collectors who care most about staying power and trail, it is described by the house as the sweet that takes you straight back to childhood. Caramel, marshmallow and strawberry candy come first, jasmine and ylang-ylang give the middle a soft floral body, and vanilla and musk make the drydown smooth and cuddly. It is unapologetically sweet, with the florals there to keep it from turning flat.

Fragrance Pyramid

• Top: Caramel, Marshmallow, Strawberry Candy
• Heart: Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang
• Base: Musk, Vanilla

Performance

Longevity: Good for a gourmand: expect around 6–8 hours on skin, longer on fabric.
Sillage: Moderate to strong for the first couple of hours.
Projection: Arm's length early on, then a sweet, musky cloud close to the body.

An honest note: reviews are mixed on character more than performance. If sugary strawberry is not your thing, this will not change your mind.
